245. A FITTING GIFT FOR A PARTING YEAR...

The Hijriah year of 1430 has passed. There are too many memories to spell out. Good and bad, sweet and sour, all stored at the back of my mind for guidance and reference in time to come. As one grows older, people say one tends to get wiser. Well, it all depends on how well one managed to spend time accumulating knowledge and positive experience.

I'm blessed with having a pair of wonderful parents. Patient, compassionate, kind, generous, gorgeous, hard working and above all ever willing at all times to lend their ears in times of needs especially my mom.

I know that at times I've been a little snobbish, a bit playful, a little careless, a bit impatient and slightly stubborn.

I'll address to whatever little flaws I have and strive to be a better person.

For all the wonderful things and the good times we had together throughout the years, for all the guidance and advices, for all the marvellous food you've have placed on the table and for the cosy room you set for me without a fee, please accept this small gift...

A timepiece I picked up for a good cause. Leonard, the time piece reminds me of one of the greatest inventor, painter, scientist, mathematician and sculptor, Leonardo Da Vinci.

This is for you, just a simple gesture of love and affection...it isn't much but it carries my sincerest gratitude...

FOR YOU, MOM, WITH ALL MY GREATEST RESPECT AND LOVE...

A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR
